Has anyone used them recently? Can I send things via Parcelforce from any Post Office?

Yes. Also if you would like to take part in an extreme physics experiment, then just send anything by Parcel Farce. They can split the atom using normal delivery methods apparently.

You can send if from most PO yeah. Did you want it to arrive though?

Depends where you're sending, but within the UK, I don't reckon they're any worse than anyone else.

I always use them and haven't had any problems. The post office only take parcelforce stuff up to a certain weight though probably about 19 kgs. So, if it's heavier get them to collect it.

I don't like the euro 48 service (if they still do it). It's misleading as nothing arrives in 48 hours but they don't actually claim that it will.

Thanks for that. I have been looking for a reasonably priced courier company that collects.

We send about 50 parcels a week and I can say we have no problems with Parcel Force, they are very good and cost me £7.60 per parcel anywhere in UK

I had nothing but crap service when I used Omega. I often ended up going to the depot to find my incoming package (next day delivery, rollocks). As usual, read the small print about lorries breaking down, blah blah.

We send over 50 every day and Parcel Force are pretty good. The only problems usually are a dodgy driver in a certain place, not often though. Generally they are spot on and the tracking on the website is pretty good. If you do use them and the Parcel gets stuck somewhere, drop me an email for the 'secret' customer services number.
